I find this remark very crass, insensitive, and self
centered. If you can manage to wander off the egocentric viewpoint so
central to this statement, you would realize that utility is
subjective, and people would have different view points.
Personally, I find mencal to be potentially more useful to me
than a idiotic joystick calibrator (joystick?). How many network
sound systems does one need? And with a gazillion editors out there,
does one really need a lightweight programmers editor? Most
programmers I know already are comfortable with emacs or vi
derivatives.

Figures.

Heh. That may leave you without a package.

Also, you can't even read. It is a calendar, not a
calculator.
